This is the bit that really gets to me; all this time they've known how to say reasonable things grounded in reality. This only proves to me that they choose not to.
They know they’re bad. But they don’t want to be good, because being good means they have to accept lgbt and non-white people. They just can’t commit to that, so they go all in. And, that usually makes them rich.
I may be an asshole, but I can afford to forget it.
Seems like any Republican with even a shred of honesty or decency retires from politics instead of doing the hard work of staying to fight and to change things.
They built this monster, and now that they can't control it they bounce and leave the rest of us to suffer.
Romney has always struck me as one of the better conservatives. He still has some profoundly dumb ideas but I genuinely think he actually believes all the shit he says and is just very sheltered. There have been a few times where he has said some stupid shit (mainly about reproductive health) and was later corrected by one of his staff so he backtracked on what he said. Out of all of the conservatives he has shown the greatest ability to admit when he is wrong and change his behavior. I still wouldn't vote for the guy normally but if the choice was between him an any of the other republicans then I would probably vote for him. He is the shiniest shit in the turd sandwich.
Yeah he's a "decent guy" to the extent that that term can apply to bigots.
The bar is so low for those regressive fucksticks you'd have to go deep mining to find it.
Brought to you by MIT fucking Romney. What has this world come to.
Ah, another DONT CLASS WAR WHAT ABOUT GENERATION WAR? brought to you by the classists.
Too bad because he'll be replaced by MUCH worse.
Not too much worse. Romney voted with Trump 85% of the time.
Oh my sweet summer child.
the Republican Party has been captured by a “super MAGA” faction
Insert astronaut meme "always has been"
Im sure he meant pass on .
Let’s hope.
See ya later little face Mitt.
And Gen X’ers TBH.
Millennials are hitting 40+ now.
Of course, people in their mid-fifties are useless. That's a bit short-sighted, don't you think?
So is judging people by their age in general (or skin color, or gender or etc), but people do it all the time.
It means you don't have to put any thought into your judgments, just look at someone and decide they "don't look right".
